Josh Kelly vs Flavius Biea LIVE RESULTS: Pretty Boy lands brutal left hook to BEAT Romanian star by first round TKO

Cyrus Pattinson wins!

Cyrus Pattinson has just defeated Joe Garside thanks to a fifth-round TKO.

Garside was incredibly game but suffered two horror cuts above his left and right eyes and an additional one on the bridge of his nose.

His corner saved him from more punishment by throwing in the towel midway through the stanza.

What a fight!

Pattinson vs Garside – Round 5

Garside is dangerously close to being stopped. But just as you think he’s down and out, he briefly stiffens the legs of Pattinson.

Pattinson recovers and goes back to punishing a blood-soaked Garside, who now has two cuts.

His corner should throw in the towel. And they have!

Pattinson vs Garside – Round 4

The cut above Garside’s eye continues to bleed profusely, so much so that the ringside physician is forced to check it out.

He gives Garside the okay to continue fighting and Pattinson immediately goes back to targetting the wound.

Garside eats a big left hook just before the bell. I’m not sure if he saw that coming due to the blood in his eye.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 40-36 – Pattinson

Pattinson vs Garside – Round 3

Pattinson is making Garside overreach and pay for his stepping over his front foot.

Beautiful counters are thudding the face of Garside, who is slowly, but surely, showing signs of wilting.

He’s wearing the damage on his face with a huge cut above his left eye.

But it’s not too bad that the ref will wave off the contest.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 30-27 – Pattinson

Pattinson vs Garside – Round 2

Pattison is landing weighty shots but Garside is returning fire on the inside.

Body shots continue to be Pattinson’s shot of choice, but Garside has clearly been doing his abdominal work as they’re bouncing off him.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 20-18 Pattinson

Pattinson vs Garside – Round 1

Garside has done some brilliant work in tight and operated well on the back foot.

Pattinson hurts Garside with a right hook to the body and a follow-up hook to the chin.

Garside takes it well. The bell goes.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 10-9 Pattinson

Welterweights on deck

A 148lbs showdown between Joe Garside and Cyrus Pattinson will close us out for the evening.

This should be a good one.

Kelly calls out Conor Benn!

Josh Kelly has renewed his calls for a domestic dust-up with Conor Benn.

He said: “[I want] everyone [and] anyone. If it’s a big domestic fight, [I want] Benn.

“If it’s not Benn, if he doesn’t want to take that fight, then it’ll be a big world title fight.

“In every governing body, I’m ranked number four or number three, two in some governing bodies.

“I’m [right] there. I’ve been knocking on the door for some time.

“I’m in my prime now. Let me run, let me run.”

Buncey weighs in on Kelly’s blowout win

Boxing pundit Steve Bunce was blown away by Josh Kelly’s display.

He said: “That was a serious statement of intent from Josh Kelly.”

He added: “The key now is to move on, speed, fast and throw some names out there and see if they stick.”

Kelly blows away Biea in the first!

Josh Kelly gets the emphatic finish required in the first round of this Tyne & Wear tussle with Flavius Biea.

A beautiful left hook to the temple off a textbook feint sen Biea to the canvas.

And the Romanian couldn’t beat the count. Blistering display from ‘PBK’.

Kelly vs Biea – Round 1

Kelly comes out fast and narrowly misses with a thundering lead uppercut.

Three body shots rattle the torso of Romanian Biea and draw a big reaction from the Newcastle crowd.

Biea reminds Kelly he’s still in the fight with a looping left hook.

But Kelly drops him with a nasty hook a few seconds later at the end of a blistering combo.

Biea isn’t getting up here, he’s badly hurt. The ref reaches the count of ten!

Crunch time for Josh Kelly

Josh Kelly is just moments away from returning to the ring.

And this clash with Flavius Biea is a must-win for the former British light-middleweight champion.

In his last two outings, he’s looked like a shell of the fighter he was before his brutal KO loss to David Avanesyan four years ago.

Not only does he need to win tonight, he needs to win in style.

Welland vs Acre – Round 6

Acre landed a HUGE left hook at the top of the round, which will go down well in the judges’ eyes despite Welland hitting back immediately.

As the round went on, Tom turned it up a notch, throwing jab after jab but none really connected.

I must admit, Acre grew into the fight after each round because at one stage, he seemed as if he was heading for a stoppage loss.

But in a shocking turn of events, Acre threw a punch AFTER the bell which could really go against him – he could get disqualified!

Welland vs Acre – Round 5

Acre has massively stepped up the pace and certainly took the front foot in this round.

But it seems as if Welland was taking a step back and waiting for an opportunity.

We normally see fireworks from Welland but there hasn’t been too many of those just yet as we enter the final round.

The Brit is still on course to win but he’s creeping over the finish line at this point.

Welland vs Acre – Round 4

Tom Welland seems to have slowed up a little in this bout which is quite worrying.

The Brit is still winning the fight but Acre is making very difficult.

This could be an interesting last two rounds.

Welland vs Acre – Round 3

You can certainly see why Acre has got several knockouts under his belt because he hit Welland with a few powerful shots.

The Mexcian arguably won that round as Welland found it awkward.

Welland looked a little right-hand happy but his first two round should be inspirational enough for him to get back on track.

Welland vs Acre – Round 2

Another strong round for Welland as he exploded to life in the final ten seconds.

The Brit star landed four or five superb body shots that Acre struggled to deal with.

So far so good from the Kelly corner.

Welland vs Acre – Round 1

Acre may have a tattoo of Mike Tyson on the right side of his chest, but that wasn’t enough to scare Welland.

The British boxer came out all guns blazing, connecting with a number of jabs and putting Acre on the back foot.

Welland will be the happier of the two with that opening round.

Light as a feather

Next up, we have an epic super-featherweight contest on the cards.

Tom Welland takes on Facundo Arce and it is expected to be a cracker of a fight!

Brown wins!

Stockport slugger Niall Brown moves to 15-0 with a unanimous decision win.

The referee scored the contest 78-75 in favour of the former Thai fighter, who is a real, real prospect.

Brown vs McCallum – Round 8

Brown continues to showcase beautiful counter striking.

His counter left hook is absolute money and continues to frustrate McCallum when he throws a jab.

McCallum gets rocked by a series of hooks in tightagainst the ropes.

But somehow, he manages to stay on his feet. He’s got a chin made of granite.

The final bell goes. Complete domination from Brown.

Credit to McCallum, but he’s just a step in class down from Brown.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 79-73 Brown

Brown vs McCallum – Round 7

Brown continues to come forward with reckless abandon but is being countered for fun.

Brown is doing a brilliant job of slipping the jab and landing hard uppercuts.

A big counter hook sends McCallum’s mouthpiece flying and brings him some brief respite before the bell.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 69-64 Brown

Brown vs McCallum – Round 6

Brown is continuing to break down the dogged and determined McCallum with spiteful shots.

Hooks to the body in tight continue to be the money shots for the former Thai boxer.

McCallum needs to do something big to have his hand raised now.

A knockout is required.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 59-55 Brown

Brown vs McCallum – Round 5

McCallum gets rocked by numerous hooks seconds before the bell goes.

But he eats them like a freshly-cooked roast dinner as he defiantly stands his ground.

I don’t know how his chin withstood that barrage.

Chisanga’s scorecard: 49-46 Brown
